In many localities Hoods Sarsapar-
lila is in such general demand that it is
the recognized family medicine. Peo-
pie write that ''the whole neighborhood
is taking it" etc. Particularly is this
true of Lowell. Mass, where 1t is made
and where more of Hoods Sarsaparilla
is sold than of any other sarsaparilla
or blood purifier. It's the great reme-
dy for debility. scrofula, dyspepsia,
billiousness, or any disease caused by
impure state or low condition of the
blood. Give it trial

is YOUR BLOOD PURE? For i'm
pure blood the best medicine known.
Scovilfs Sarsaparilla, or Blood and
Liver Syrup, may be implicitly relied
on when everything else fails. Take it
in the spring time especially for the i'm
pure secretions of the blood incident to
that season of the year; and take il at
all times for Cancer, Scrofula, Liver
Complaints, Weakness, Bolls, Tumors,
Swellings. Skin Diseases. Malaria, and
the thousand ills that ceme from i'm
pure blood. To insure q cheerful dis
position take Scovill's Blood And Liver
Syrup, which will restore the mind to
its natural equilibrium.

Owing to the drouth last year our
potato crop was almost failure and
we were forced to lay out over six
hundred dollars for potatoes last fall,
which being figured in this years ex-
penses accounts for the cost per week
being greater this year in both iustitu-
tons than last. We give the asylum
credit for tie part OF crop which was
raised on the farm, as the asylum in
mates did the raising of them, and
charged the poor house for all that was
used in that institution, which is the
cause of the cost per week being COM
| in the asylum. Only for the outlay our
expenses this year would have been a
very little less in both institutions than

Matt Carpenter as a Minister.

1t is a curious fact that the late Matt Car
penter, who represented Wisconsin brilliantly
In the senate, at one time decided to enter the
ministry and began the study of theology
He had lost his sight for time, and there
are many old people now living in the little
western town where he spent his first ten
years at the bar who can well remember the
earnest prayers and eloquent talks of the
young lawyer. Carpenter was then a tall,
spare, black eyed fellow, handsome as Lucifer
and as dangerous. Rufus Choate sent him to
New York to put his eyes under treatment,
and he stuck to the law. His determination
to go into the ministry was feeting surren-
der to dependency, but his old friends al
ways cherished their dreams of his future
fame as the great, blind preacher of the west.
1t was at this period in his life that Carpen-
ter acquired his fondness for Scripture read
ing, trait which explains the simplicity and
clearness of his speeches in the senate and at
the bar.-New York Sun.

YOUNG Africa az a Pace

Desperate attempts are being made to train
young citizens of African descent for service
as pages. Clothed in gay liveries, with crests
or initials on the large buttons, the little
darkeys are expected to follow their mis-
tresses when they go shopping or to pay calls,
and on reception days they are to stand at
the door with a silver waiter for the reception
of cards. 1t is very hard, however, to disci-
pline them, and on one or two occasions they
have made statements to visitors which have
produced deal of trouble, especially at the
house of brigadier general where the visitor
was told, after waiting some time, Il can't
find missus, though she was here just now,
but guess she must have seen you coming
and slipped out the back way."-Ben Perley

he would live until it was completed Tt says
that when Governor Wilson Lumkin con-
structed the stone mansion on the hill over
looking the cemetery at Athens he left one
window unfinished, and it 50 remains until
to-day.

Justice in Ceylon.

To judge by n OF two instances
cited by Il Colombo correspondent, the
quality of mercy has been a good deal
strained in Ceylon lately. In one case
an influential native, "who set upon an
unsuspecting Cingalese and trampled
him to DEATH" was rewarded-one can
hardly say punished-by six months
hard labor. Scarcely less extraordi-
nary is another case in which u MUIR
derer, whose death sentence had been
committed to penal servitude, had es-
capped from Jail, and, being caught
asleep in a hut, had stabbed and killed
the policeman who attempted to arrest
him. For the second murder this man
was sentenced to two years imprison-
ment-whether to be served concur
rently with or after his unexpired term
is not stated. The Judge who perpe'
trated this singular practical joke Il
said to have justified himself on the
ground that q policeman had no righ'
to arrest a man when he was asleep
SO that in Ceylon 1t is not murder Il
kill a policeman who exceeds his duty
